Where's my Bobber. I went out there this past Saturday. I was kinda windy but I had a Blast. I met a guy from the forum (Inliner). There was another guy out there in a tube. And he knew what he was doing LOL. Thanks for the help Sir. That is what the forum is here for.

You will only get better with TOW & TIYT(time in yo tube).Keep at it and you will soon be able to maneuver & catch just like those pros like WMB,JE,Epic and the like.They have been at it for a minute. I`m still learning myself but I have to pick days that don`t have a lot of wind in the forcast because of my handicap.The monster will become a addiction from which there is no cure my brother.

Sirjet, hooking and being pulled around is not as scary as trying to land a big fish from a tube. Catfish spines can puncture you or the tube, same if you catch a big stiper or red on a lure with treble hooks. I usually work myself away from them sharp points until they tire out, and use a lip gripper at arms length, then cut off the spines if they will go on a stringer. Some big ones have taken me 30 minutes, so that cuts into catching others. I sometimes use a rigged up a stick that tangles the hook (takes less space than a telescopic net), to help shorten that landing time.

Absolutely the best way to fish if you have a friendly water body out of major wind. I started more than 50 years ago using a Bob Brown Fish Master Tube with Fish Master Flappers. Still have two tubes. Assumed they would be rotten since I have not used them in several years. Got them out, looked good, added a fishfinder and am looking forward to going a little later. I'm getting a little long in the tooth, so will have to be a little more careful than I remember being when I started.
